Sweet! I've already got tickets for the garden. We are staying at the Wyndam Union....an old train station, right?<br /><br />Someone at the studio today was talking about some "Alley" where all the clubs are????

Hey Lilt - welcome to my world. I've lived in Nashville for 25 years and it is THE BEST place!! <br /><br />Cheekwood Botanicle gardens is the place to go.<br />Plus Opryland hotel has a lot to see if you like plants & things.<br /><br />PM me and I'll give you my phone number when you get here. <br /><br />I'm out of town until Friday night, but would love to steer you in the right directions.<br /><br />There is so much to do and so many nice place to eat and lot's of entertainment that has nothing to do with country, but don't write off that experience either..... you might be surprised

I wonder if they have a botanical garden? We're there for some awards thingy, but just for a couple of hours on Sat. night.<br /><br />I'll look up Belle Meade. Thanks.<br /><br />Country music is my least favorite genre. But I would assume not everybody's playing that tune. I better start surfing, right Annie?

Nashville's pretty cool. There's all kinds of music, obviously. We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel when we were there for business, but we didn't get to do a whole lot. Where are you staying? I'd ask the locals for the best places. Otherwise, you'll get steered toward the main tourist things. I always like exploring the truly local things that the people who live there can tell you about. The Belle Meade Plantation is there if you like that sort of thing.

I am a fairly recent transplant. Before that, I lived in another city, a couple states away.I came to Nashville on a Greyhound bus. My first sight of the city was of a massive traffic jam...and even then I was filled with a sense of homecoming.That first day, I walked a ways...

I have lived in Nashville for almost 2 years now. I love going downtown and listening to the live music. People are all so friendly down there.
It is however, difficult to meet new people and have not made any real friends since living here. I plan on staying in Nashville...

Nashville is my favorite place in the world that I've ever been! I love country music and the business side of it has always interested me. I wish I could live there, but I have way too much anxiety to move that far away from my family.
